Abstract

The motivations of mothers of babies up to 2 years old to not offer technology during moments of care, interaction, and entertainment for their babies were investigated, as well as the guidance from professionals on the use of screens received by them. Individual interviews were conducted with eight mothers of babies aged between 3 and 23 months, of whom five were girls. From thematic analysis, it was identified that the participants related the use of screens to the needs of adults, not babies, and reported prioritizing interactive activities with their children. Even without receiving guidance from professionals on the use of screens by babies, the search for scientific knowledge on the subject influenced the choice of some mothers not to offer screens to their children. The results of this research indicate that it was not the guidance of professionals on the use of screens that influenced the participants' choice to do without these technologies but their characteristics
